Falkirk councillors are backing a campaign urging First Minister Humza Yousaf to restore a named minister for older people.
A motion taken to Falkirk Council by Labour councillor Alf Kelly on Wednesday was supported by the SNP group as well as Conservatives and Independents.
Councillor Kelly, who is the Older People's champion for Falkirk Council, is backing a campaign led by the charity Age Scotland, which has criticised the First Minister for replacing the role of minister for equalities and older people with an expanded portfolio that includes equalities, migration and refugees.
